Hello David - 

JN>> They don't want their language corrupted/bastardized by
JN>> the inclusion of foreign words. It's nothing new; they've
JN>> been banning words for decades. It's too bad England and
JN>> the U.S. didn't do the same with french words hundreds of
JN>> years ago. 

DD> You wouldn't have any language at all if it weren't for the
DD> French/German/Latin/etc roots. 

And your language without those would be what? Meow? 

JN>> School kids would not have to remember how to spell such
JN>> words as reservoir or boulevard, maneuver or oubliette. 

DD> Yep, all they'd have to spell would be "uuuggghh". 

Hard as it is to believe there are people and countries that
have survived with no Latin-based derivatives. I don't think
the Japanese (for instance) would miss Latin at all. 

I read recently there was a serious attempt to make German the
official language of the USA some years back.
